Notes: Fieldiana: Anthropology Volume 55.  Publication 984.  Primarily the excavation of Carter Ranch Pueblo in 1961 and 1962.  “The evidence at hand suggests that the pueblo was erected on a knoll, was two stories high in the north or central section; and had consisted of a nucleus plus several additions.  Access to the rooms was probably through roof hatchways since most of the doorways appeared to serve as connection passages between rooms….Some rooms contained no fire pits; others square or rectangular ones; and others, round ones…It is probably that these rooms are functionally different; and perhaps a lineage segment occupied a group of three adjacent rooms: one with no fire pit (sleeping or storage?); one with a round fire pit; and one with a rectangular one.”  (From the Summary)  Carter Ranch was in a “transitional” zone, and blended traits from proto-historic Zuni, Mogollon, and Anasazi.  34 burials were found at the site.  Copy 2 is from the library of the late archaeologist Stewart Peckham, his signature on front cover.
